He is one of the more likely players to be offloaded by Arsenal this winter and the list of suitors in the France international continues to grow.
Adding a striker remains Juventus’ top priority this winter and Max Allegri will have drafted a shortlist of a number of possible targets he could approach in the coming weeks.
The France international is thought to perfectly fit the profile of striker Allegri wants to target in the winter transfer window.
The Italian giants are in the market for just a handful of statement signings who can improve the first-team.
Alexandre Lacazette is a traditional number nine, having all types of finishes in his locker. He has the quality and the experience to make an immediate impact.
According to the report, “Juventus are preparing an offer for Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette. Juve are in need of firepower after losing Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United last month and still waiting for a first Serie A win this season. ESPN says they’re ready to turn to Lacazette to boost coach Max Allegri’s attacking options. Arsenal are open to selling Lacazette in January, with the striker’s contract running down. Lacazette hasn’t heard from management about a new deal and is becoming increasingly resigned that this will be his last season as an Arsenal player.”
